The Marietta Daily Journal – Taking a hit Marietta s HUD funds cut by

MARIETTA — A federally funded program that helps low-income Marietta residents improve and maintain their homes stands to receive less cash this year from Washington, D.C.

The city of Marietta will receive about $16,000 less from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant program this year, and most of those cuts will likely impact the city’s housing rehabilitation program.

About $262,984 will go to the city’s rehab program this year, the most of the programs paid for under the city’s $542,284 block grant budget. That’s less than the $274,894 rehab got last year under the $558,394 total budget.
